I agree they are victimized by Hamas. That's fair. I think putting the blame on Israel is a trickier point. What exactly did you want Israel to do? Re-occupy Gaza after Hamas took over? Not let any money into Gaza? I don't see any good options here. As I said it's fair to say there was an element of complicity from Israel but I wouldn't call Israel a Hamas supporter by any stretch of that word. We also need to consider the conduct of the Palestinian Authority throughout this period.

If you say that Israel handing over Gaza to the PA and withdrawal from the Gaza strip ended up being a big mistake I can agree with that in retrospect. At the time I personally thought there's a chance for peace. But that sort of brings us way back to the question of how is this conflict going to be resolved when all paths lead to bad outcomes.

Hamas was a death cult way before 2017.

The relationship between Palestinians in Gaza and Hamas is also more complicated then "victimized". I mean you're right but there are nuances there.

Hamas isn't oppressing people in the west bank. What explains the polls showing strong support for Hamas there?

EDIT: another random btw, I think your comments regarding the conflict are generally well informed and with good intentions. I appreciate that. It's sorely missing from online conduct on this topic.
This is one way to do it:

Overhead cables are simpler and cheaper, but not easily compatible with cars (which would need a comically tall pantograph to connect to the cables).

(Induction is a third option, but it's not really viable except in certain special cases because it's way more expensive, can't deliver as much power, and tends to be less energy efficient.)

Electrifying highways may sound expensive or complicated, but consider what the alternatives are. We could stick with fossil fuels. The U.S. burns about 4 million barrels of gasoline and about 4 million barrels of diesel a day, most of which is used to push cars and trucks around. That's not simple or cheap, we're just accustomed to the cost.

Another option is we switch to EVs and rely on big batteries for range. That kind of works, but battery manufacturing scale isn't there. It's also kind of wasteful to have a substantial portion of the vehicle weight being batteries. It means cars and trucks are heavier than they need to be, and they can haul less cargo.

If we could get to the point where, say, someone could drive coast-to-coast without ever having to stop to charge with only 30 or 40 kwh battery, that would be huge. It would reduce EV costs dramatically, it would reduce average vehicle weight, and you might even get better performance.

(This wouldn't completely eliminate the need for some long-range vehicles for areas not served by electrified highways, but for most uses it should be fine.)

Can the same not be said of nuclear to a degree? My knowledge may be outdated but afaik proper, long-term nuclear waste storage is still an open question.

Nuclear waste persists and remains dangerous for a long time and it's easy to forget and just burden future generations with it.
The 'uncompressed' stream has already been winnowed down substantially: there's a lot of processing that happens on the detectors themselves to decide what data is worth even sending off the board. The math for the raw detectors is 100 million channels of data (not sure how many per detector, but there's a lot of them stacked around the collision) sampling at 40Mhz (which is how often the bunches of accelerater particles cross). Even with just 2 bits per sample, that's 1PB/sec. But most of that is obviously uninteresting and so doesn't even get transmitted.
I suggest to my juniors not to copy and paste, but to write the code out by hand while looking at whatever they would copy and paste.

A lot of them say they find that useful, even though it’s slower, they HAVE to read the code they are copying and pasting
I think what you're witnessing is a defense mechanism that comes about as a response to cognitive dissonance that is related to their deeply held personal beliefs about how the world works and their role in those workings.

To admit such a level of failure of the global system that they identify so strongly with is like admitting a personal weakness to some people. so they reject that possiblility any way they can.
I think you have completely misunderstood the point I was making. I was saying that you can’t implement JavaScript generators with JavaScript async/await, even in your hypothetical scenario where they’d been developed in the opposite order. The reason you can’t is because JavaScript async has specific semantics that are incompatible with JavaScript generators. It isn’t that my perspective is particularly skewed towards JavaScript, rather that the language semantics we’re discussing have semantics that you can’t generalize away entirely. And it isn’t so much that I don’t see the generalization you’re describing.

You’re presumably coming from a place where you think it’s helpful to educate about the generalization, and that’s fine. But I’d suggest that when someone is clearly informed enough on the topic to clarify a language-specific nuance that diverges from the generalization, it probably isn’t because they’re ignorant, and it’s probably going to come off as rather condescending to respond as if they are.
I can explain a bubble sort to anyone, but if they want to program one they’ll need a programming language.

What distinguishes programming languages from: random text, spoken languages, or even other programming languages? Syntax.

I hate that you define a function in python with: def func(): ; in clojure with: (defn func []; and Haskell with: func = ; just as much now as anyone starting to explore an interest in building with technology.

I hate that to participate with the internet you need to know 3 programming languages: html, JavaScript, and css. (While completely ignoring the backend.)

But it is that way because different people have different ideas of how to move these 0s and 1s around.

Now perhaps one of these overly optimistic proselytizers of the llm teachers might say, “exactly, and we can use this tool to abstract that madness away.”

Fine, but it’s something different than programming.

I say that without any condescension of either party. What’s it matter if the desired goals are reached? I mean, except that these tools are a silicon fire created by stealing the worlds creative output, and owned by unethical sociopaths who are trying to sell it back to us.

But when discussing education, this distinction is important to ensure programming is still taught in parallel to people who are only taught to use an llm.

Have we reached the apex of programming? Do all we need is to just stochastically complete tokens of preexisting code?

Or do we still have work to do in this field?

Who’s going to do the programming if everyone in the discipline learned only how to avoid the programming?

> In my personal experience, it’s worked out fine.

Okay, but you do realize other people have a different experience of the world, right?

Discord is super-easy to avoid right up until it turns out the only communities for something are on Discord. Or your teacher assigns you work that requires using it. Or your work requires you to use it. Or...

And the thing is, 99% of us will never run into any of those situations! It's easy not to be affected personally, right up until you are

> Not reading the thing you’re agreeing to is not an excuse.

Okay, but I did read the entire TOS at the time - now I'm required to also read every update and respond within a 30 day period. Which, again, easy not to be personally affected right up until you're on vacation in a region with bad internet, or just super-busy with work and you miss that one email

We ban all sorts of contracts - you can't sell yourself into slavery, you can't agree to commit a crime. So what's wrong with voting with our actual vote, instead?

Especially since I'm interested in protecting not just myself, but other people who might not realize how much this potentially disadvantages them.
It's not much better if you get responses. My problem was companies will schedule me for interviews so I do 100 applications have 60 phone screens, then 40 technical interviews, then 30 seconds stages/homeworks, 10 final rounds and maybe 4 calls with the VP/CTO and still nothing. It's a full time job for months with no payoff.

I guess so long as your increment is constant there are primes you’re never going to find. If a prime happens to be 2^64 from another prime you’ll still never see it with my approach.

Probably the most reasonable thing to do would be to use a Mersenne twister or other PRNG to generate a stream of random bytes. Would be plenty fast and should hopefully have no relevant pattern. No reason you should need real randomness from the OS after the initial seed.

Voting with your feet only works if your feet have somewhere else to go. Binding arbitration is a cancer that is everywhere and spreading. Your due diligence to choose products that have no binding arbitration are futile, because they can change the game any time. You can opt out, but then they play the arbitration do-over card like Discord is doing here and nullify that unless you opt out again. You can’t win.
There are folks who take shitty jobs because they don’t have anything. Say you’re dealing drugs, or pressuring poor people to buy lifestyle products they can’t afford. Or a closer example, working for data mining companies, or surveillance tech. At the lower end of the socioeconomic ladder, these things are complicated, because making a living is hard. Maybe that’s all you know, and any alternative would be a risky jump where you’d lose money, health care, housing, and providing for your kids. Not saying it’s one way or another, but at least it’s complicated.

But plenty of these individuals in PE have everything they need in life. They can retire comfortably early and leave plenty for their children, and have a second home in Hawaii and expensive hobbies. If you are in this position and actively and with full knowledge continue to harm others then you can’t blame “the game”. Nobody is forcing you.

I still think one should reach out to a book first, then goes on to whatever method is best (asking a senior/mentor, SO, ChatGPT,...). It gives you more information and the material for better questions.
The real answer would be to help address their desire while making it manageable.

I wish I could have virtual desktops or similar, per project. Any application I open for that project would be specific to that desktop.

In other words, my "taxes" tab might have:

- A browser for my bank.

- A browser for my 401k

- email messages regarding taxes

- a notepad for tax notes

- a todo list for tax steps completed and upcoming

This could alleviate the tab problem.

(or it could just explode the problem, I haven't been able to live this dream and it might not be so dreamy)
And putting resources towards lowering that barrier would go significantly further than any regulation.

Regulation is by nature slow and highly susceptible to corruption or stagnation. Whereas the courts, as onerous as they may be, essentially achieve the same thing through liability but it is more dynamic, more responsive, and more likely to error correct than the former.
Just FYI, Kagi's FastGPT is not remotely comparable to GPT4 in quality.
Nor can regulation. But the idea is that, in seeking to avoid liability, people will avoid doing things that would foreseeably lead to such liability.

Likewise regulation is limited to preventing foreseeable issues, and is often only implemented after somebody suffers damages.

The difference is that regulations are imposed by a third party whose interests may not be aligned with those who are actually involved in the matter. This is good in circumstances where there are externalities, for example just because I'm okay with entering an agreement with a company to use my backyard to store toxic waste doesn't mean my neighbors would be very happy. But when people are making decisions that will only affect themselves, such as what wheelchair to purchase, liability really is the more sensible consumer protection.

Don't forget the resources and money required to bring X to the limited attention of the regulators and to ensure the regulation is sufficiently up to date and not subject to capture. I would argue it is orders of magnitude more than exploring the same through liability.

In my experience, GC'd languages leak much more frequently because people figure 'oh, the GC will take care of it for me.'

There are excellent tools for detecting memory leaks/safety issues in C, and you can even write all your own allocators for your own edification / amusement / sanity, but in a GC'd languages, you're pretty much fucked across the board. There's some tooling, but it pales in comparison to the tools available for C.

I would also like to acknowledge the topic of CVEs you brought up. Yes, mistakes in mission critical systems happen. And for those systems, maybe something with better memory safety features is more productive in the long run. The original comment I replied to suggested C can be surprisingly productive with just a few tools, which I stand by supporting.

> What you're missing is that 99% those shops wouldn't have existed at all if they had tried to go the C/C++ route [...] average or mediocre programmers can get a viable product

Hard disagree. The two places I have in mind hired average/mediocre people to do somewhat challenging graphics work. Both had interesting products that may have actually been viable (think matterport, figma) but both failed because the UX sucked .. due to what can only be described as UI jank.

Lastly, it is easy to forget what you spend time on. I ve been tracking all my bugs that took more than 30 minutes for the last 10 years. The vast majority are graphics bugs due to API misuse. Very few are memory safety bugs, especially recently.

EDIT: also, half the costs I listed were related to performance. How the fuck do you justify the statement that those apply to C? What language would you pick to have more control over the assembly the machine is running.. other than assembly I guess..

I don't know if this is play to win or play to not lose.
I think this would work better if it had 2 modes, one built by scraping/bots from public listings, sound cloud etc, which would let you discover and reach out on those platforms.

And one powered by "list yourself" where people would create their profiles to make themselves easier to discover.

This would avoid the issue of not having many users initially whilst also making it interesting to use.

Probably never because drivers use it as a way to discriminate. Not enough tip? Your food will be cold or may never show up. A better question is when will tipping in general END?
Probably not, but I looked at this (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protected_group).

I guess what I was trying to say is that I'm not in a demographic that's historically been a victim of prejudice; I'm a 33 year old straight tall white dude born in the US that comes from a relatively affluent family without any kids who has never been a veteran.

Obviously if someone explicitly didn't hire me because I'm white, that would be an obvious violation, but I don't really think that's ever happened to me. I think when I've been declined for jobs, it's for more direct reasons like "he's kind of an asshole" or "he doesn't seem smart enough".
I'm building a note-taking app, so I hope you don't mind, but I was wondering if you might describe how you "search" your notes while using a device's file system search? For desktop, I might use a tool like grep to do that, but that's pretty developer-y, so if you're doing something more user-friendly, that's interesting to me. What is more interesting to me, though, is what you're using on mobile to do this? I've never, personally, used my mobile's file system search to discover text in notes. But I'm on Android, so there's not really only one 'file system' with a search interface.

My thought here is it that the app is going to be saving simple text files either plaintext or richtext (markdown/html), so it should be able to provide this for you, but I haven't even considered that as a feature so I would want to test it to see if there were any rough edges to polish. Any suggestions you have would be appreciated!
> Specifically, there are very real nuclear proliferation concerns which cannot be ignored.

The countries with the #1 and #2 sized nuclear arsenals are currently at war. A war that, as far as I can tell, is continuing to escalate.

The countries ranked #2 and #3 (China has been busy building them) are preparing for war with each other.

We're seeing ongoing evidence around the world that nuclear weapons are the only thing that can deter a big player from launching an invasion of a country.

We could plausibly be looking at the opening stages of WWIII and while there is a lot of concern it isn't enough to jolt people out of their normal routines and the political impacts have been relatively muted. The situation is so bad right now I'm not sure what the proliferation concerns are supposed to be. It is already just a matter of time until something goes terribly wrong. How much is prosperity energy generation supposed to make the situation? If anything it might stabilise the military situation.
A better wheelchair seems like a fun project and if the costs are that extreme probably not so hard to do better (unless the costs are extreme because regulation prohibits a good market).

My Fake Amazon 'Workbook'
For sure. When I’ve played bass in bands or filled up a stage for a live show, that skill is indispensable. And I don’t mean to downplay the importance of gigging or band-formation for this kind of thing: OP should cater to as many people as possible. I was originally just saying that I understand the desire to outsource content hosting to avoid the long fingers of the majors or user-generated content controversies.
I don't use FastGPT, I just Kagi Professional with the GPT-4 model.
'Shortly after my book “Waving Goodbye: Life After Loss” was published April 9, I noticed a companion volume for sale on Amazon for $12.99. Its title: “Workbook for Waving Goodbye By Warren Kozak: Absolute Guide to Living Your Life even After Loss.” I hadn’t written any such workbook, so I contacted my publisher, Anthony Ziccardi, at Post Hill Press. He already knew about it. “It’s the dark side of what’s happening with A.I. generated books on Amazon,” he told me in an email.'
Companies mostly want it because it's a lot cheaper to do discovery in an arbitration, actually. Some kind of unfavorable precedent is extreme tail risk because no matter what you're almost certainly going to settle, that isn't really a factor in legal department decisions. But real civil discovery is an extremely lengthy and expensive process.
Ya this reminded my of a Palmer Lucky interview where he explained how the prices are created. Can't remember off the top of my head but there was substantial incentive to build with the most expensive materials, doesn't seem like the case here though.
